Assessment

Michael Thomas Physiotherapy offers a full physiotherapy service that includes assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.

"A comprehensive assessment is without question the most important step in the physiotherapist's management of patients with common musculoskeletal problems" - Hertling & Kessler (1996).

A complete history performed by an experienced physiotherapist will often be sufficient to determine the extent and nature of your problem. This is followed by a physical examination that may involve observation, movements and special physical tests.

As a Chartered Physiotherapist, Michael Thomas has been trained to assess your condition accurately, then plan and administer a treatment and rehabilitation programme aimed at restoring your function to the highest possible level.

Additionally, Michael has completed postgraduate training that focussed on the systematic analysis of movement and assessment of dysfunction to identify the source of your symptoms. 

Whether a straight forward sports injury, a complex chronic low back pain condition or following recent surgery, Michael has the assessment skills to select the most suitable treatment and rehabilitation strategy.
